Which is why Shuster doing daily curling commentary on GoldZone is the highlight of this year's broadcast.

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

Just said on the podcast that today feels like an NFL Sunday because my feed is full of people complaining about refs:

๐Ÿ”˜ French figure skating judge
๐Ÿ”˜ Chloe Kim score
๐Ÿ”˜ Snowboard cross DQ
๐Ÿ”˜ 2 hockey goals taken off the board
๐Ÿ”˜Surprise tiebreaker in menโ€™s freeski moguls

I agree with all of this, especially restarting world war 1, except that I am also watching the Olympics.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

A screenshot of the zombo.com domain as of yesterday, looking painfully vibe-coded; the "Zombo.com" text is now in a font that looks nigh-identical to Verdana and has an awful washed-out rainbow gradient, the loading circle animation has been replaced with a pinwheel, and apparently the voice has been replaced with some awful TTS equivalent. There is now a description underneath the page which is some of the most repulsive "quirky" corpo-speak an LLM could possibly muster, which I refuse to transcribe.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taรญnos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Cincinnati enquirer headline about how Ohio depends on immigrants for growth

Cincinnati enquirer headline about how Ohio depends on immigrants for growth

Love and support you always, Cincinnati Enquirer (support local media), but esp today

This is a Midwest daily paper. About as middle of the road as you can get

& they understand that this is an objective, straight news headline, in the context of a planned Trump/GOP onslaught in Springfield, etc

I get this, but here's where I'm at:

Trump & Vance are the worst of us. America is bigger than them, and they win if we let them define us.
Team USA is the best of us. It's filled with Americans MAGA hatesโ€”first-generation + immigrants, LGBTQ+ athletes, people of colorโ€”& I'm gonna root for them.

Not for nothing, but it was a Washington Post article about romance fiction that pushed Jacob Tierney to contact Rachel Reid about making #HeatedRivalry.

If a university student group had celebrated Charlie Kirk being killed, complete with a graphic made from an actual picture of the killing, the whole lot of them would have been expelled before the ink on the digital story was dry.

On the off-chance any attorneys in Ohio follow me: DM me and weโ€™ll figure out how to get you trained ahead of this, but I gotta emphasize the mere fact of filing a 2241 petition (youโ€™ll learn what this is!) makes a huge difference in what happens here, you can make difference

If you work in journalism: you cannot use machine learning to upscale a photo and still be telling the truth. It WILL lie, even if you don't intend to tell one.

It can only do what it does by inventing details where none exist, which means it will inherently be misrepresenting reality.
